Patent CA-2575944-C (CA)
Inventor: LANCASTER ANDREW
IPC: H02H7/125
Filed: 2005-08-24
Granted: 2013-05-28
Abstract: A power supply system and corresponding methodology is provided for providing a self-protected power supply for use with electronic electricity meters. The self-protecting features are provided, in part, through the use of surface mounted resistive components corresponding to a resistor dropper portion of the power supply. The use of surface mount components also provides a general reduction in circuit board surface area requirements thereby providing a compact overall construction and provides economies with respect to reduction in manufacturing process steps. When the surface mount resistor divider is configured along with a half-wave rectifier, a low voltage DC supply is obtained from a direct connection to a much higher voltage AC mains source without requiring the use of coupling capacitors or transformers. Plural output voltages may be provided and capacitive filtering may be associated with the outputs. The use of a surface mount resistor divider in combination with surge protection elements helps to distribute any power surge over the power supply, which facilitates the use of less robust surge protection devices to achieve desired levels of protection.

Title: Dispositif polyvalent d'introduction de lentille intraoculaire dans l'oeil
Inventor: LEE NGEE JENN
IPC: A61F9/00
Filed: 2006-04-12
Granted: 2015-01-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif qui permet d'introduire une lentille intraoculaire (LIO) dans l'oeil. Ce dispositif comprend un élément corps tubulaire pourvu d'une surface intérieure et d'un piston équipé d'un dispositif de préhension se plaçant dans l'élément corps. Le dispositif de préhension, qui comprend un élément de verrouillage, est configuré de sorte que, une fois poussé longitudinalement dans une direction distale, celui-ci avance dans la direction distale à l'intérieur de l'élément corps. Cependant, lorsqu'il est poussé longitudinalement dans une direction proximale, le déplacement du dispositif de préhension dans la direction proximale est empêché par l'élément de verrouillage qui vient alors en contact avec la surface intérieure de l'élément corps. Le risque de déplacement involontaire du piston dans la direction proximale du fait de son retrait est ainsi sensiblement empêché. Lorsque le déplacement proximale du piston est souhaité, celui-ci peut être assorti d'une poignée couplée fonctionnelle au dispositif de préhension. La rotation de la poignée entraîne son propre déplacement à l'intérieur de l'élément corps. De plus, la poussée longitudinale de la poignée et/ou la rotation de la poignée peut entraîner la progression ou le déplacement distal du piston.

Abstract: A pressureless or atmospheric steamer for cooking food with a high cooking efficiency has a cooking compartment with an outlet for steam and condensate that feeds to a tempering tank via an outlet conduit. The outlet conduit is spaced closely from the controlled water level in the tempering tank, and is in fluid communication with the atmospheric vent to create an open steam cooker. A steam generator is adjacent the cooking compartment and has a water reservoir, a heat exchanger secured within the reservoir in a heat-transferring relationship at an exterior surface of the heat exchanger with the water held in the reservoir, and a heater that supplies heat to the interior of the heat exchanger. The tempering tank has a drain and level controls for a water supply held in the tempering tank. A pressure-sensitive device is disposed to measure the steam pressure in the cooking compartment and to generate electrical output signals indicative of minimum and maximum pressure values to control the operation of the heater to maintain the steam pressure in the cooking compartment within that operating range. The steamer has an in-built water filtration system for water supplied to the water reservoir.

Abstract: An attachable and detachable handgrip, primarily used with plastic bags, canvas bags and other items with handles, is disclosed. The attachable handgrip comprises a single piece of flat, pliable material that will hold its shape, yet yield easily to force. Paperboard or plastic are two such possible materials. This material is to be cut to a width suitable for the widest example within reason for the human hand, or approximately 3.5 inches. The material may be cut at a length that makes it practical to roll the material, or in the case of plastic, be extruded into a spiral roll. The space between the layers of the roll should be such that it practically accommodates the handles of the items being attached with handles. The end of the material that is the inside of the spiral will have a slight bend to it so that when the handle is unrolled and held a short distance away from the end, a hook is formed for the items to be placed on. This hook can be formed simply part of the curve of the spiral roll or exaggerated near the inside end. The end of the material that is on the outside of the spiral will have rounded corners to make it easier to pass through the bag handles.
